9. FITTING THE MIXER VALVE   

EXPOSED OPTION

IMPORTANT: Ensure that you have read through section 7. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION before 

starting to fit the mixer valve.

1.  Your thermostatic concentric mixer valve is set up 

in the factory so that a shower hose can be fitted. 

This means that when the valve is fitted with the hot 

water coming in from the left hand side, indicated 

by the red spot, the water outlet is on the bottom of 

the valve and has a ½” BSP threaded male outlet 

(Fig 1).

2.  The supply pipework can be plumbed from above 

or below but must finish at the suitable connections 

which should be at 150mm centers. Connect the 

15mm pipework using standard compression nut 

and olives supplied with the mixer valve (Fig 2).

NOTE: Make sure the mixer valve is kept in a clean 

place to prevent rubbish etc, getting into the openings 

while fitting the pipework. 

3.  Complete the fitting of the pipework and the tiling 

leaving the pipework as shown.Leave 150mm  

(+ or - 5mm) between centers and about 30mm  

out from the finished surface (Fig 3).

4.  Remove the back plate from the mixer valve by 

removing the retaining grub screws. Put the plate 

in the centre between the feed pipes and mark the 

screw positions, check this fits by holding the valve 

in position. Drill plug and screw the back plate to 

the wall (Fig 4). 

5.  Fit the two flat valve nut covers to the nuts on the 

mixer valve and position the mixer valve onto the 

two water feed pipes and onto the wall bracket. To 

prevent moisture entering the wall put some sili-

cone on the underside of the mixer valve nut covers.

Carefully tighten up  the compression nuts to hold 

the mixer valve in place (Fig 5).

6.  Make sure the mixer valve outlet is pointing in the 

correct direction (with the hot feed on the left side 

marked with a red indicator). Replace the locking 

grub screws to hold the mixer valve onto the wall 

plate.
